On April 9, 2013, the PHRF Executive Committee unanimously voted to make the following changes to our 2013 rules. We believe that these changes reflect the intent of the Organization regarding stored energy, and will allow boats that use electric winches to adjust sails and centerboards to compete this season. At the Annual Meeting in November, the Delegates will be asked to consider adopting these changes for 2014 and beyond.

In the 2017 PHRF Fleet Policies: Refer to the paragraph Boat Design.

In the 2017 Standard Sail and Equipment Specifications: Refer to Paragraph 14, Section C: USE OF STORED ENERGY.
